Tomas,
I do not oppose OGC, quite the contrary I started GIS from PostGIS and
qgis, finding them very nice, stable and feature rich. I just didn't
find any public job offerings that would require these skills. I'm sure
that I must be wrong because the stable and developing community along
with many enthusiasts all have to be based on some R&D, scientific and
commercial projects worldwide. That's why I asked in this mailing list
about your opinions - how and where to get GIS jobs with OGC skills.
Regards,
Alex

Hi,
As a GIS industry newcomer, I'm in process of prioritizing my

essential and relevant for future job search.
Concerning client software it is quite simple - without ArcGIS you'll
definitely would be out of range. But server mapping has several

possibilities - whether to focus on spatial databases - mostly Oracle
Spatial or PostGIS, or to look for server middleware like
GeoServer\MapServer or Oracle MapViewwer. I'm from Oracle space, so
their products are mostly familiar to me.
I like PostGIS for its simplicity, free availability and great
community support. I've already made some demo stands with uDig\qgis
with PostGIS backend and tuned GeoServer to work with PostGIS layers.
But the question is - are there serious business demand for OpenGIS
profies? monster.co.uk, reed.co.uk and gis-jobs.co.uk return no
(zero) jobs with postgis keyword.
What whould you suggest?
Well, while the common opinion will be that "without ArcGIS You'll
definitely would be out of range" it will be no better.

Tomas
Thanks and best regards,
